So this year marks the 3rd time Ryan took Zoey to the Father-Daughter Dance at school. It was a little different this year, where as there was no time that the Fathers-Daughters danced, but as Ryan put it "It's not so much about the dancing, but making the daughters feel special". Here they are all dressed up:
The following week was Spring Break. We decided that we wanted to go camping. Death Valley was completely booked up, so went went with our 2nd choice, Joshua Tree National Park. Since the weather there this time of year can be very cold, windy, and rainy, we decided to give our trip a little more comfort and rent a Cruise America RV.
It was WONDERFUL to have it since most nights were cold and really windy, we were able to cook inside, sleep more comfortably, and above all, not have to wake up and dress in layers to use the bathroom at night :)
Day 1 was getting the RV, driving to the campsite, setting up, relaxing.
Day 2: Explore Joshua Tree, Hike to Skull Rock, go to the overview, cook burritos with rice, try a campfire, play with the camera during said camp fire....until the wind stopped it all!
